The stress point you point out can be reduced my finding a more flexible lid for the bucket. In my case I used a blue about 20 Gal Barrel that had a flexible lid. The only problem with the barrel is that it will occasionally collapse. Reverse the fittings on the dust deputy cover the outlet with you hand and you can “blow” the barrel back into shape. This only happens to me when using a small hose with fitting to connect to my ROS. Thanks for your Videos Todd. They are very informative and a pleasure to watch. Larry

Toolz – I have never had an issue with collapsing the bucket, even with using the small Festool hose hooked to my 6” RO sander and large shop vac. But it is interesting how many others have, I might just have a stronger bucket.

I really like your solution to fix the collapsed bucket!
